Chamomile Tea is Not a Subsitute for Hot Sex

There's been a lot written lately on sexual dysfunction and about 43% of the female population will suffer from sexual dysfunction, of some sort. But the worst news: many of these women this abnormal is normal! For many women who used to have orgasms they now think that little sex and no orgasms is a natural consequence of aging and relationships. It's not clear where women got the idea that lack of sex is normal, or why they have this idea,but clearly more research is necessary. It may be that women are afraid to say they'd like their sex to be better, but many women will express lack of understanding as to what is normal in terms of sexual desires, sexual fantasies and sexual behavior. Women think that it's just normal to be happier relaxing with a nice cup of chamomile tea before bed rather than wanting some hot sex. So, girls, remember, sex is normal, it's healthy, and if you really prefer the tea to the alternatives: you need to talk to your gyno! And if you used to have orgasms and no longer have them, there may be clinical studies that can help you address this concerns.

I've noticed that people who like sex, think that people who don't care about it are abnormal. However... sorry to break it to you, but we don't actually miss it. Those of us who don't care about it, REALLY don't care about it. And we only worry about it at all, because those who like sex are constantly telling us there's something wrong with us. BIAS! I cry to you BIAS! Why on earth are we trying to syndromize something that isn't actually a problem?

The reader who doesn't miss sex points out one critical point regarding the degree one is "bothered" by one's comfort in asexuality. The formal psychiatric definitions of he American Psychiatric Association (APA, American Urological Association Foundation, and the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists guidelines for sexual disorders require that a sexual problem be recurrent or persistent and cause personal distress or interpersonal difficulty to establish the diagnosis. So by definition, if one is not bothered by lack of sexual desires or function, it is not a medical disorder. But for those who are bothered, they should know, it is not 'normal' meaning the 'norm' and that treatments are possible.

Periods can be fairly easy, passing some tissue at a time, or off can come the whole lining in one piece called a decidual cast. Generally the lining of the uterus is only 6-8 mm thick at the time of the menstrual period, and it is shed gradually, a few cells at a time. The decidual cast is when the entire lining passes spontaneously. It's not uncommon, but it usually both uncomfortable, and alarming to some. But us women are designed to have some sort of periods Or Not? We have to pass tissue each month. Or Not? Are they good for us? Or Not? Do we want them? Or Not? Is this something that is individual? Or Not? It's a complex topic that I will be discussing a lot over my time in this blog. So lets start with basics: How much do we bleed and what are we loosing, and just what was this that the patient passed? And another basic: track your periods, and the Women's Health Practice site http://www.womenshealthpractice.com/media/pdf/menstrual_chart.pdf you can find one. Wom…

For women on an IUD sex drive changes are often reported. We have already discussed relationships between the levels of testosterone and a woman's sexual function in a prior post. Women on OCs (oral contraceptives, birth control pills) have a known decreased levels of male hormones due to suppression of their hormones naturally made by their ovaries. We take advantage of that fact, and it is a bonus non-contraceptive effect of the pill, that when using OCs to suppress ovarian male hormones this treatment therefore helps to control acne, PMS, heavy bleeding, menstrual cramps as well as other hormonal symptoms such as breast pains. But a disadvantage of this is that some studies have reported that the suppression of testosterone by OCs also suppress sexual function and desire. We know that even aging changes our male hormone levels, by your mid 40s you probably have about a 30% decrease in your male hormones due to decreased ovulation and decreased adrenal gland function. Add cont…

If you have had an endometrial ablation and have developed symptoms of pelvic pain you might have post endometrial ablation syndrome. What is post-endometrial ablation syndrome? It is a constellation of symptoms due to entrapped blood or tissue within a uterus that has previously undergone an endometrial ablation. We are able to diagnose this at Women's Health Practice but occasionally other conditions are causing similar symptoms. Other complications of endometrial ablation include pregnancy, risks from pre-existing conditions such as a polyp or fibroid, an infection of the uterus, or a pregnancy. If you have had a tubal ligation then it is possible that the condition could be post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome. The ablation procedure is designed to destroy all lining tissue, but in fact there is no way to confirm the completeness of the ablation. It is thought that either residual or regrowth of the tissue is producing the symptoms of post-endometrial ablation syndrome.…
